    I'm looking to get a Q5 for my wife is 179.99 a good price for a brand new Q5?

    She's used to 10.3 on her z10 but she wants a keyboard. So loading 10.3 would be my first move

    Is 10.3 good on a q5? What's the best leak for the q5? Best radio?

    Anything else you would suggest?

    Thanks in advance

    I don't know about 10.3 but $ 179 is a good deal although I paid $ 149 in Canada. They were as low as 129 a while back but that was for a short period.

    think official 10.3.1 is only a few weeks away. I will wait. Have you considered a red 1. probably less than 200.

    Colour is not important to me

    Q5 is good enough. Unless you can get a Q10 for cheap......

    10.3.1 is there for Q5 as well. I wouldn't worry about it at all. It is very smooth

    I would recommend to upgrade her Z10 with it as well. You really notice the optimisation

    I have 10.3. on my Q5 and that sob works better than it used to do with 10.3.0 (: No fear, 10.3.1 is here (:

    I just paid 179 for my Q5. I prefer it to my Verizon Q10. I'm on ATT now and needed a GSM phone quick to tide me over until the Classic is released. Returning my Passport.

    I don't know if it's suitable for the longterm, but I sure like the clicky keyboard, integrated battery, and indestructible feel. It's a budget smartphone with a powerful OS. That's the way I like it.

    Should I be running stable 10.3 or a more recent 10.3.1 leak?

    Very good price if unlocked, otherwise still good. Seems like the trend is now up on used Q5's maybe because the supply is now capped.

    I'm on 10.3.1.632 right now. Bugs and other glitches that I had with 10.3.0.1154 are no longer my concern. Also, Android apps work far better on 10.3.1. The only thing about this leak refers to watermark-but I get used to it after 1 hour of using my Q5(:
